Downgrading from Win8 to Win7 envy 17-j021nr drivers needed

I have a customer who is running some software that doesn't like win8 so I am downgrading his new envy17 to win7. I've managed to get all of the other drivers installed and working but it doesn't seem to matter which additional drivers I try to download from other models I can't seem to get the realtek wired lan to work, the usb controller, or the synaptics touchpad. Does anyone know which drivers will work for this model.
Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

Hi:
You should be able to use all of the drivers and software from this model, except the wireless.
When you go to install the graphics, you have to install the Intel HD graphics driver, reboot and then install the nVidia graphics driver.
DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE DOWNLOADS FROM THIS LINK

Wireless: The second driver listed is for 64 bit.

Intel HD Driver issues when downgrading from Win8 to Win7

Hi Guys,
I currently have a bunch of HP Pro3500MT machines which have come preinstalled with Win8 on these and after checking with HP they stated that these are compatible to be downgraded to run on Win7.
The install works fine up until the point where the Intel HD drivers are installed and this then causes the pc to BSOD with and IRQ is not equal error. (I will add the dump files shortly)
Has anyone experienced this with these machines?

Hi:
I have seen instances on other HP business desktop PC's where this happens when you install W7 (non SP1), and then try to install the drivers before updating W7 to SP1.
If this is what you did, the solution is to install W7, update it to SP1 before installing any drivers and that should work.
If this is not your situation, then I would try the Intel HD video driver directly from Intel.

Portege Z930 - Few questions after downgrade from Win8 to Win7

Hello,
I recently purchased Z930 PT234E with Win8 pre-installed. Due to company policy, I needed to downgrade it to Win7 Pro 32Bit (deleted all partitions and created one partition as normally should be done). I downloaded all drivers for OS and installed. And everything started after that;
1- I'm trying to install TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager but returns with warning "+Before you start setting up TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager Client, copy an action masthead file for TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager Server to the setup folder.+" and I don't have that file and installation fails. *Where can I have this file for a succesful installation?*
2- You have +hwsetup+ software preinstalled on Win8 but I couldn't find that sw / driver, even for Win8 at download pages of Toshiba *Where can I get this sw as it gives ability to configure BIOS without waiting for boot?*
3- I see that the battery is +used+ while I left my device on hibernate. I unplug it from power adaptor after %100 charged and hibernate it. But after few hours, when I turn it on, I see it is %91! I susbect it is becuase of "+sleep and charge+" option is enabled from BIOS but I need to wait for next boot. *Any comments?*
4- If I purchase the recovery media online from Toshiba, will this help me to install Win8 as in first boot and create the deleted partitions as in "+*factory state*+". In other wprds, will this recovery media will set my z930 to factory state with OS and partitions. +OK, I assume this media is a DVD and I know that I need to create a bootable USB from this media...No worries :)+ .
Really thanks for reading and comments / replies :)

This file is not known to me and usually something like that should not appear if you would install the software in the right order.
Before you would start to install any of the Toshiba software you have to install Toshiba Value Added package for Windows 7!
Only if this VAP has been installed and notebook rebooted, you could follow with other tools.
> 2- You have hwsetup software preinstalled on Win8 but I couldn't find that sw / driver, even for Win8 at download pages of Toshiba Where can I get this sw as it gives ability to configure BIOS without waiting for boot?
System driver package which is available for Win 8 is NOT available for Win 7.
Instead of system driver you have to installed VAP!

Any comments? The Sleep & Charge option as well as other options like Wake Up on LAN or keyboard may discharge the battery. So in case you dont want that, disable this in BIOS
> 4- If I purchase the recovery media online from Toshiba, will this help me to install Win8 as in first boot and create the deleted partitions as in "factory state".

Downgrading from win8 to win7

I want to degrade from windows8 to windows7 .... but i m having a hard time installing the graphics driver as this laptop has a dual graphics. Kindly help me with the drivers.

What is the installed graphics module? If it is one of those in the following list:
AMD Radeon HD 7670M
AMD Radeon HD 7520G
AMD Radeon HD 7660G + 7670M Dual Graphics
AMD Radeon HD 7640G + 7670M Dual Graphics
Then you can use the switchable graphics driver from the g6-2005ax notebook. It has the same chipset on the systemboard as yours and that will make it compatible. The direct link is the following URL

Pci network adapter on Thinkcenter EDGE 3484-jpg - win7 downgraded from win8

I need add an extra nic on Thinkcenter EDGE 3484-jpg, computer is natively win8 and uefi boot downgraded (from lenovo) to win7 pro. Tring 2 different network controller pci-e 16x - intellinet - startech pex100s systems freeze while loading bios; removing nic i can access uefi bios but i don't find any option to disable/enable pci-e slot (also disable uefi bios). With same computer model bought some month ago (born with win7 and old-style bios) i have no such problems. Lenovo phone helpdesk told me the network card are not compatible, but they don' t know any pci-e nic who run on this hw. Do you have any hint?

Hi:
Yes, you can burn the files to a CD and use those to install the drivers you need.
You need to install the AMD Chipset and USB 3 drivers which are not on your notebook's support page.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=cp_117181_1
Download and install both of these drivers for the usb...
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_139250_1&swEnvOid=40...
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_133037_1&swEnvOid=40...
Reboot after each installation.
PCI E/D Controller: Not on your notebook's support page.
Run this file and then manually install the driver.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=vc_133833_1
To manually install the driver, go to the device manager and click on the PCI E/D Controller needing the driver.
Click on the driver tab, click on update driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp66974. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and the driver should install. Then reboot.
Ethernet Controller:
Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver
File name: sp69625.exe
PCI Device:
Realtek Card Reader Driver
File name: sp69619.exe
I don't know what model wireless card your model uses, so if you still need the wireless card driver (Network Controller), please do the following steps so I can figure that out and then I will post the link to the wireless card driver you need...
To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the device labeled Network Controller.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

Downgrading HP 2000-2c29W from Win8 to Win7

I know I need to reformat the drive before installing Win7. What else do I need to know for a problem-free install on this model?
Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You are correct.
I believe the entire drive has to be formatted in MBR-NTFS, and once you install W7, the recovery partition is useless anyway.
So, if you made the set of W8 recovery disks when you first got the notebook, you could use those to restore the drive to its 'out of the box' condition.
Or you can order a set online from HP. Ordering recovery disks can be found on the W8 x64 driver support page for your model.

Problem Downgrade from Win8 x64 to Win7Pro x64 - HP Sleekbook 14 b051TU

Dear all,
I'm experiencing some problems while trying to downgrade this HP Sleekbook 14 b051TU machine from 32 bit to 64bit. It keeps showing me error message off unable to load the driver for the storage device.
What I've done:
1. I have downloaded the necessary drivers from hp website for Win7-64bit
2. I have turned off Secure Boot
3. I have enabled Legacy Support
I am able to browse the driver and load it but even after loading the driver, it still says that there's missing driver and I cannot see any disk that I can install on.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hello fishermanzan,
This article explains why HP doesn't recommend downgrading a Windows 8 machine.
Good luck!

Bios from win8 on win7

Is it possible to upload bios E16GBIMS.50I(for laptop with preinstalled win 8) for laptop (CX61 0ND E16GBIMS.406) from DOS.I need UEFI.I want change file E16GBIMS.50I with E16GBIMS.406.
Thanks for reply

Thanks for the reply.
I think if I had a model 0NE or 0NF it was to a greater chance because E16GBIMS50I bios is for those two models.I will not have UEFI

Going to downgrade from CC to CS5.1, what do I need to do?

I'm 2 days away from the end of my CC trial, and would like to go back to using my CS5, which I have the serial number and everything for, but is already installed on my Mac as an expired trial period.
How do I do this without screwing up? Will I need to completely wipe my CC off my mac before I attempt doing my CS5?
Also I've got lots of files created using the CC Photoshop and Indesign, is there a quick / mass way of me converting all these files so that they are compatible with my CS5 when its installed?
Really appreciate any help you can give!
thanks

PSD files are compatible when saving with maximum compatibility. ID fiels need to be saved back to an older format or exported as IDML. The rest is unclear, but you might want to read this:
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
If your activation is botched completely, call support to reset it.

Hi I have an Eqium L350 Laptop and i just recently downgraded from Vista to XP.
All other drivers work fine apart from my Sound Card.
Does anyone know where to get the drivers i need for my laptop?
I know what the drivers are called
VIA AC'97 Audio Controller (WDM and SIS 7018 Audio Driver
Only problem is i dont know what ones work with my Toshiba L350-10L
There is different versions of these drivers.Does anyone know anyone which one it is?
Thanks in advance :)

Realtek do not have the sound card drivers are you sure it is a Realtek card?
I have seen L350 -10L models with the Realtek ALC268.
But i have installed the Realtek ALC268 Audio Codecs and when i check on Driver Detective and Driver Max it displays the ones i mentioned when i started this topic.
If you can could you maybe find me a link to both drivers that will install and work with my model of laptop from Toshiba if it is not too much trouble for you?
Thanks alot in advance :D

Downgrade from W8 RTM Enterprise to Pro

How can I downgrade from W8 Enterprise to W8 Pro, because I need Media Center for my work and Enterprise is not a Superset of the Pro Version. Why MS why?

Yes, it’s unsupport to downgrade from Windows 8 enterprise to Windows 8 pro. You need to reinstall Windows 8.
